Roman Catholic bishops in Illinois have shuttered most of the Catholic Charities affiliates in the state rather than comply with a new requirement that says they must consider same-sex couples as potential foster-care and adoptive parents if they want to receive state money.
For the nation’s Catholic bishops, the Illinois requirement is a prime example of what they see as an escalating campaign by the government to trample on their religious freedom while expanding the rights of gay people. The idea that religious Americans are the victims of government-backed persecution is now a frequent theme not just for Catholic bishops, but also for Republican presidential candidates and conservative evangelicals.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- WE CANNOT ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO DICTATE TO CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS.
DON'T TAKE THE STATES MONEY WITH STRINGS ATTACHED. THE STRINGS ARE POISONESS TENTACLES AND AN AGENDA.
